Company Overview
Sanlam Maroc represents the Moroccan operations of one of Africa's largest financial services groups, following Sanlam's phased acquisition of Saham's insurance business starting in 2016 — investors who knew this business as Saham Assurance should confirm current branding and entity structure directly with the company, as the rebranding has proceeded market by market.
